Akaka Falls State Park

Akaka Falls is located in Honomu, Hawaii along the Hamakua Coast. The nearest city is Hilo which is approximately 13 miles south of Akaka Falls.

Akaka Falls is a self guided scenic walk through lush vegetation and two beautiful waterfalls. Akaka Falls greets you with a 442ft drop and the cascading Kahuna fall can be seen behind overgrown vegetation after a heavy rainfall.

Located north of Hilo off Highway 11 between the 14 and 15 mile marker. 
Go west on Highway 220 into Honomu town.
Follow Highway 220 until the road ends into the Akaka Falls parking lot.

Got to Hawaii State Parks for more information.

From the entrance the trail will split. This is the trail to your left which is the fastest way to the waterfall lookout.
